Dowling extension goes 'green' with recycled materials
"Why are we beating ourselves up constantly trying to stay on the good side of the law when we could just put down compost after the final grading is done," Gault said. "We don't have to mulch it. We don't have to put protective blankets on it. Once you put compost on top of your fill slopes, you're done except for hydro seeding."
Beyond using compost for greener slope stabilization and erosion control, the road surface itself also is greener, Gault said.

New technology could stop Wales’ coastlines eroding away
A STRETCH of Welsh coastline could hold the key to the multi-billion-pound problem of coastal erosion.
Pioneering tests of the world’s first underwater coastal erosion monitoring system are to take place for the first time off Tenby’s South Beach next week.
It is believed the system, which employs a “grid” of electromagnetic sensors, could save billions of pounds and have a positive effect on millions of lives around the world by predicting exactly which parts of coastal areas will be eroded.

Mine erosion concern
The Goulburn River flowed yellow with clay run-off for several kilometres downstream from Moolarben Coal Mine after recent rains.
Nearby resident and environmentalist Julia Imrie said the clay thickening the water had been washed down from the Moolarben site, which had been cleared of its trees and topsoil, opening the clay in the subsoil to rain erosion.

Burn recovery: Griffith Park gains hope for future
In May 2007, fire raged through Griffith Park in Los Angeles, destroying more than 840 acres of vegetation and leaving behind large stretches of exposed, charred soil.
As the rainy season neared, residents began to worry the bare areas, when hit by heavy rains, would give rise to dangerous landslides and mudflows that would spill into residential areas. City officials were worried, too. They knew that burned soil areas often have high rates of runoff in the first seasons following wildfires. The burned areas in Griffith Park were ripe for such a situation.

Vetiver: Veritable Natural Solution to Soil Erosion
The grass can grow up to 1.5 meters high in clumps of about the same size, but its roots, amazingly, goes down 2 - 4 meters down the ground. Try pulling that out. Having access to water deeper down, the Vetiver doesn't require watering or irrigation for it to grow. It's low maintenance. In fact is drought tolerant. The closely propagating clumps act as breaks or shields to water run-off. It can withstand relatively strong currents. It is 70% to 90% effective in controlling run-offs, and that is at about 1/20 of the cost of most technical solutions.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Plaintiffs commenced this action alleging that their adjoining parcels of land in the Town of Lumberland, Sullivan County were damaged by repairs carried out by defendants Robert Adams and Brian Kilcommons (hereinafter collectively referred to as defendants) on an easement that defendants held across plaintiffs' properties. The subject easement is a private roadway that runs up a steep incline along the boundary line between plaintiffs' properties to access defendants' properties above, bordered by an embankment on property owned by plaintiffs Gene Bierhorst and Susan Bierhorst and a stream on property owned by plaintiff Margarita Lopez. In 2004, defendants decided to repair and improve the road, and undertook to do so. During roughly the following two years, defendants engaged in some further efforts to improve the condition of the roadway and to address erosion control upon the surrounding property. In this same period, three severe storms caused floods and damage to plaintiffs' properties.
